IMPROVEMENT IN OIL-CANS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 166,956, dated August 24, 1875; application filed July 24, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN AsKWI'rH, of Chicago, Cook county, Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Oil-Can, of which the following is a specification:

My invention consists of an attachment to the bottom of the can, so contrived that the drip or waste escaping from the nozzle or any leak will be caught and retained While pouring from the nozzle. It also consists of a nozzle for pouring out the drip, so contrived With the attachment that it serves for a handle to use in pouring; and it also consists of a nozzle so combined with the drip attachlnent and the nozzle for pouring out of the can that the drip may be poured out together with the contents of the can or through the same nozzle.

Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved can,

and Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is a drip-pan attached to the bottom, so

' as to catch the drip, and having a ange, B,

to prevent its escape. It also has a chamber, C, into which the drip is permitted to tloW at D, on the side opposite the nozzle E, and arranged a little lower than the rest, so that the oil `.vill ow readily into said chamber, out of which is a nozzle, G, passing into or through nozzle E, so that the drip may be poured out with the contents of the can, or after, and at H is another nozzle for pouring out of the drip-pan; also for use as a handle to the can.

Although I have represented this attachment at the bottom ot' the can, it may of course be located at any height on it, it' preferred..

Having thus described my invention, I claim as nevT and desire to secure by Letters Patentl 1. The combination of a chamber, C, with the drip-pan A and can, said chamber having a passage from the pan into it, and a nozzle for pouring out from it, substantially as specifled.

2. The combination of a nozzle, G, with the drip-pan and the nozzle E of a can, substantially as specified.

3. The nozzle H of a drip pan attachment to a can, located relatively to the can to serve for a handle thereto, substantially as specilied.

JOHN ASKWITH.
